The following information was on the NYSED website regarding classrooms that have no state assessment. I copied and pasted this directly from the website. Notive that "state" is capitalized incorrectly.
The New York State Education Department released two important resources for district leaders as they implement a critical component of the new teacher evaluation system. The Student Learning Objective Road Map and the Student Learning Objective Guidance document explain how New York State will assess the student learning growth of students in classrooms where there is no State assessment that can be used for a State-provided growth or value-added measure (sometimes called “non-tested subjects”).
Please review the Teacher Overview document to familiarize yourself with the basics of the Student Learning Objectives and how they will impact you. The State Education Department will be working very closely with your district leaders so they are prepared to help you implement this in the 2012-13 school year.
